Default why is there a "^" in the cell?

Copied a worksheet, now both original and copy have "^" in the cells, causing
formatting to be off. Words won't center horizontally or vertically and can't
retype cell contents w/out it putting the "^" back in the cell. HELP!

Try Tools / Options / Transition / Untick 'Transition navigation keys' if it
is ticked.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. However, I did "untick" the navigation keys
before I copied the worksheet. Could this be the reason the "^" is in the
cells? How do I get rid of it? Thanks for your response and input!
